[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that you need to be clear with your no. Clear and kind: "Mom, I'm so glad you want us to come, and I'm sorry to miss it with my sister coming too, but it's just not going to work for us to come." Stop listing off all the reasons.[/quote] Perfect. My parents do this too. I have my own home with my husband and baby and it unnerves me when they refer to the house I grew up in as "home" as if my life now is just a make-believe game. [/quote] My inlaws are like this. You can't say, "it probably won't work for us to come then." You must say, we cannot make it. Period.[/quote]
